A user named VitaminX uploaded bitcoin miner attached to an installed for BG3. The admins removed the upload after community protests went viral, but VitaminX is for some reason not banned.

Is the site compromised? Was VitaminX splitting the profits with a rogue admin?

I use rutracker for the most part. 1337x is blocked in my country and something feels off about the mirror. I do enjoy these types of dramas though, have to admit.

Change dns provider and it's no longer blocked. Going by you're username we're from the same country :)

Wow. Does anyone share software from "the russian hacker" Valdik outside the RUNet? That's the first time I've seen it.

If it's blocked in your country you probably don't use a CDN without cencorship, I use Cloudflares 1.1.1.1 but Googles 8.8.8.8 should do the job too! ;)

Small nit but I think you're referring to DNS not CDN
